Chandigarh, Oct 29: As many as 33 patients were examined in a free knee and joints problems camp at ACE
Physiotherapy Clinic, Zirakpur on Saturday. During camp a team of Ivy Hospital, Mohali led by Dr Bhanu Partap Singh
Saluja, director and head of Ivy Institute of Orthopaedics consulted patients for their ortho related problems.
Speaking during the occasion, Dr Bhanu said,” Due to the lack of calcium the bones become weak and as a result
fracture occurs even at the slightest blow. If someone, especially elders, fall a little or slips in the bathroom, they can get a
dangerous fracture, he maintained.
He further said that in fact, when there is a lack of calcium in the bones, they start becoming weak and hollow, in such a
situation they break as soon as there is a slight pressure. To avoid this problem, calcium should be tested in the bones, it
shows how weak the bones have become and what will be the method of treatment, advised Dr Bhanu.
